Chapter Twenty-Five: Burning Evil and Refining Essence
"Went to the backyard. The fat man pushed aside the weeds and pointed to two rows of shallow paw prints in the snow.
Yun Yi took a closer look, there were four rows of paw prints under the grass, two of which were left by the monster when he came, and two rows went along the backyard.
The two followed the paw prints into the backyard, and found that there was a hole in the northwest corner, and the paw prints went out along the hole, the hole was very narrow, and the two couldn't get through, so they could only go over the wall and leave the hospital.
The courtyard was also overgrown with weeds, and when they opened the grass and looked again, they found that the paw prints went along the northeast direction, and the two of them quickly chased out more than ten zhang, and found that there was a dry well in front of them, and there were several paw prints on the edge of the wellhead.
Yun Yi probe looked at the two eyes in the well, the well water has been dry for many years, and there is only silt and some lost firewood and grass left at the bottom, but there is no figure of the monster.
"Where did it go?" The fat man also came over and found that the monster was not in the well, and was puzzled.
"There may be a passage at the bottom of the well," Yun Yi clapped his hands straight: "This well is seven or eight zhang deep, and the monster I jumped on the beam of the house before couldn't reach me, and it was impossible to jump out of such a deep well." ”
"So what now?" the fat man was a little confused.
"Go back, we just followed the trail of the monster's departure, and there are paw prints left next to it when it came. Yun Yi pulled the fat man, turned around and left.
The claw prints of the monster when it came and the paw prints that left began to disperse from outside the hole in the courtyard wall, and the two followed the other two rows of paw prints, and in a short time found a hole in the northwest thirty zhang away. The hole is not small, but people can't get into it.
Thinking back to the monster's waistline, it was only a little smaller than the entrance of this hole, which indicates that the monster probably has the ability to dig holes, and this hole was dug by it.
At this time, the heavy snow has not stopped, and the two rows of paw prints next to the entrance of the cave have gradually blurred, and there are no other paw prints, which indicates that the monster jumped into the tunnel after jumping into the dry well and did not come out again.
"Hold the entrance to the cave, I'll go over there. Yun Yi explained to the fat man, and quickly returned to the dry well.
There was a lot of firewood in the well, and Yun Yi pulled out a lot of weeds from the surroundings, shook off the snow on it and threw it into the well, and then found a shelter from the wind and took out the frozen cinnabar and put it in his arms to cover the boss and make it melt a little.
"Frozen me to death, have you done it?" the fat man in the distance rubbed his hands and stomped his feet and shouted at him.
"It's coming. Yun Yi responded, dipped his pen in cinnabar to draw a fire talisman, walked to the mouth of the well and threw the fire talisman into the well.
After the fire charm fell into the well, it immediately ignited the firewood and grass at the bottom of the well, and the bottom of the well was so humid that the fire could not burn for a while, emitting thick black smoke.
Yun Yi was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to pull out the surrounding wild grass and throw it to the bottom of the well, it was best if the fire could not burn, the more black smoke there was, the more likely it would be to smoke out the monster, and the monster would definitely escape from the hole in the ground if it couldn't stand it, and it would not be difficult to kill it if it was smoked so much that it couldn't open its eyes.
"Come here, there's smoke coming from the hole!" shouted the fat man again.
"Don't scream, I set fire to the well. Yun Yi replied loudly.
The fat man didn't shout again, Yun Yi didn't care about throwing grass into the well, and didn't care about him anymore. The black smoke at the bottom of the well became thicker and thicker, and finally sprayed out from the wellhead, and Yun Yi was so smoked that his eyes swirled, and he no longer threw grass at the bottom of the well.
After waiting patiently for a long time, he never saw any movement on the fat man's side, Yun Yi was suspicious in his heart, and shouted: "You shouldn't be asleep on a dog day, right?"
"Can you sleep on this day?" the fat man threw a lump of dirt at him.
Yun Yi turned sideways to avoid the clod: "It hasn't come out yet?"
"No, maybe it's a hole and slipped away," the fat man retreated: "This damn weather is so fucking cold, let's change places and spend the night, what are you doing with this thing!"
Yun Yi frowned slightly and didn't answer, although the monster can dig a hole, but at this time, it is too late to dig a hole, not to mention that the weather is cold, the soil has long been frozen, it should still be below.
In that case, why hasn't the monster come out yet? Aren't you afraid that it won't be afraid of smoke and fire? No, there is nothing that flies in the sky and runs on the ground, and there is no one who is not afraid of flooding and fire.
"Did you leave just now?" Yun Yi shouted again.
"No, this ghost weather has made me feel like I'm urinating, and I didn't hold back. There was resentment in the fat man's voice.
"Pee in the hole. Yun Yi replied, and then sat on the ground and thought, since the monster was not smoked, it must not be afraid of smoke, why is it not afraid of smoke?
Yun Yi was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the fat man whistling, listening carefully, and the sound of peeing.
"Are you really sprinkled, aren't you afraid that it will suddenly show up and bite off your incense ancestral hall?" Yun Yi laughed and teased.
The fat man turned a deaf ear and just peed, and after sprinkling, he shivered, lifted his pants and belted.
Yun Yi went to the wellhead again to check the situation at the bottom of the well, the firewood and grass at the bottom of the well had been burned out, and there was not much smoke, but there were still a large number of sparks, but there was still no trace of the monster.
After a moment of silence, Yun Yi decided to try to draw a thunder talisman by consuming the aura, the thunder talisman was fierce and domineering, and the yin soul demon was the most afraid of it.
Taking advantage of the fact that the cinnabar had not yet solidified, Yun Yi quickly drew a thunder talisman and threw it into the well, and then withdrew a few zhang, pinched the thunder trick with his left hand, and hurriedly recited the mantra: "Taiyi Xingxing, serve the thunder soldiers, come to answer the talisman's orders, and sweep away the evil spirits!"
After reading the truth, a loud roar suddenly erupted at the bottom of the well, the ground shook, and the wellhead cracked and collapsed, instantly forming a huge pit.
"Can you say hello beforehand?" cried out the fat man, frightened.
Yun Yi ignored him, stepped on the ground and hurried, quickly swept towards the fat man, and before he could reach the fat man, the fat man suddenly screamed, and then kicked out of the hole in the ground, kicking the monster that had just rushed out for several feet.
The fat man's kick just kicked the monster towards Yun Yi, and Yun Yi struck the monster's head with his palm, knocking it down.
Before the monster landed and came back to its senses, Yun Yi had already swept in front of it, and kicked it in the forehead again, the monster suddenly twitched violently like a lightning strike, Yun Yi thought it was going to attack again, and quickly jumped back.
After the monster twitched for a moment, its body suddenly twisted, turning into a black bump from which many roots sprouted.
The two of them were shocked and suspicious in their hearts, and they didn't dare to step forward, and quietly observed for a moment without movement, Yun Yi took two steps forward before he saw clearly what the black bump was.
"What is a tree root?" the fat man leaned in.
The fat man just talked to himself, Yun Yi didn't answer, and he didn't know why this monster suddenly turned into a tree root.
The top of the tree is relatively flat, with traces of sawn, and on closer inspection, it is found that there is a black mottled mark on it.
"It's like blood. The fat man took two more steps forward and said as he looked at the black mottled marks on the roots of the tree.
Yun Yi nodded, and said, "It's the root of the locust tree, and it was sawn flat, it should have been used as a stool by someone before." There was a woman who sat on it during her menstruation, leaving the heavens, and then she was thrown into a dry well, and after a long time, she became a sperm. ”
"Can this thing become a sperm if it dies?" the fat man was surprised.
"The locust wood is yin, the sky is yin, and the earth qi is also yin, so it is not surprising that spirits breed. Yun Yi nodded and said, "Fortunately, the Tao is not deep, otherwise we would have been here tonight." ”
"What now?" the fat man had palpitations.
"It's burned, it's a scourge to keep this thing," Yun Yi said, "Eighty percent of the dead people in that house were bitten off by the necks it walked into the house at night." ”
The fat man nodded, and when he drew the fire talisman, Yun Yi shook his head helplessly: "I just fucking drew two talismans, and the aura is exhausted, you come." ”
Only then did the fat man react, and immediately took off the burden, and Yun Yi handed over his drawing talisman again: "Your cinnabar is still frozen, use mine." ”
The fat man had just peed, and quickly grabbed a handful of snow and wiped his hands, and then raised the pen to draw the talisman, this guy was seriously slack about the spell spell, and it took a long time to draw a fire talisman crookedly, but fortunately, there was no mistake, and it could work after stamping the magic seal.
The fire charm was attached to the roots of the tree, and it immediately caught fire, emitting a thick fishy smell.
The two waited until the roots of the tree were burned, and the fat man opened his mouth and yawned: "It's almost three watches, go back to sleep." ”
The weeds around were very thick, and Yun Yi grabbed the snow to cover the roots of the tree in order to avoid the fire caused by the sparks, and then nodded back.
Although there were many dead people's bodies in the room, their souls were long gone, so they were not afraid, and slept soundly.
Because they slept late at night, the two got up a little later and packed their bags to get ready to go on the road. When I went out, I found that the snow had not stopped all night, and the snow in the courtyard was up to my ankles, and the wind was biting.
"It's too cold for this ghost, let's dress thinly, let's wait for the snow to stop before leaving." The fat man shivered with cold and turned back to the house.
"Let's go now, the snow won't stop for a while, and if it gets thicker, you won't be able to go. Yun Yi turned around and grabbed the fat man.
"It's too cold on this day, and I'm sinned. The fat man complained.
"It's not so cold when I get to Huiji. Yun Yi said.
"Pull it down, it's still far from Huiji. When the fat man thought of the long road ahead, he was a little distraught.
"Are you going or not going?" Yun Yi frowned slightly, the fat man belongs to the kind of lazy donkey who pulls and does not go backwards, if he is not willing to go, he will not force it.
Seeing that he was a little dissatisfied, the fat man smiled: "Go and go, the predecessors of the same son of the dust have saved us, and this favor will be repaid." ”
Yun Yi frowned, and was discharged from the hospital quickly, and the fat man hurriedly followed.
After leaving the deserted house, the two went to the center of the city, found a wine shop, and asked for a pot of warm wine and a basket of vegetarian stuffed buns. It's not that you don't want to eat minced meat, it's just that minced meat is too expensive.
Even so, the two of them were also very distressed, because the price of wine was expensive, and the high price of wine was caused by the turmoil and taxation in the world, and the price of food was tightened and increased. But it can't be done without drinking, the two of them are too cold, so they rely on this pot of wine to warm up.
There were still a few tables of guests in the wine shop, and after drinking too much, he began to brag vigorously, blowing and blowing to the deserted mansion in the west of the city, and some people said that he had been to the deserted mansion and had seen the female ghost with his own hair. The people who sat with him laughed and ridiculed him when they heard him talk nonsense, and the man blushed and defended himself, and shouted endlessly.
"Blow, there's a fart in there, we just came out of there. The fat man tilted his head and shouted at the drunken man.
"How many dishes are drunk like this, what kind of ...... are you," the man said with a stiff tongue.
"Looking at the sky with pouting eyes, there are no beads in the eyes. The fat man glanced at the man, turned around and picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
"As long as you talk a lot, hurry up and eat, and you have to hurry when you are done. Yun Yi raised his head and glared at the fat man.
After eating and drinking, Yun Yi asked the store to steam a basket of dry food, and a bag of wine, and the two continued to hurry after checking out.
